no arrests have been made, but our investigators are working to identify those involved a few months ago they seized six vehicles. and since we passed the legislation to have stronger enforcement locally, actually the trend is going down. in 2020 supervisor asha safaii helped create the police task force to crack down on dangerous side shows allowing officers to impound cars used in the events for at least two weeks. he says the law is helping to reduce the events. but because san francisco was down about 500 police officers. it affects the enforcement being short on officers does play into the overall lawlessness in the city that does happen from time to time we can balance being dedicated to justice reform and still holding people accountable when they do these types of things to denigrate our city. we're doing the best we can do we need more help obviously. do we need more bodies without a doubt police officials say

better intelligence is needed across social media to intercept sideshow events before they happen. that's another avenue that we have. to monitor and and pick up the chatter to learn about these events. now if you're caught participating in a sideshow you can be arrested fined and in addition to having your car seats for two weeks much longer for repeat offenders cornell bernard abc 7 news. patients on social media how else can these sideshows be prevented almost some neighborhood advocates would like to explore solutions on making popular sideshow intersections difficult or downright impossible for sideshows to happen, but temporary roadblocks or traffic enforcement on weekends, but you know some say if that happens folks may just find someplace else to perform. yeah, so true. all right cornell thank you. less than an hour ago oakland's police chief talked live only with abc 7 news about a string of armed robberies over the weekend and including at least four that happened on saturday.

in oakland are doing academically. and we all want to live in a community where people are treated with dignity and respect after more than 70 years as an oakland unified school board member shanti gonzalez is candid about her abrupt departure. your main concern is that most schools are not meeting students academic needs. yeah. what's problematic about that? is that a students aren't getting their needs met most. not getting their needs met b that that's been hurting our enrollment for 20 years. now. here's the data from oakland unified over 47% of high schoolers are one or more years below grade level in reading 44% are behind in math 53% of elementary school students are not reading at grade level with nearly 60% of students below grade level in math gonzalez insists that the board is forced to spend too much time on other issues that have nothing to do with a student's academic needs. this is not the first board member to complain jodi london served for 12 years. when the school district gets

caught up in crazy protests and teacher strikes it sends parents away and if we're really concerned about ensuring that we have a good education system for students in oakland for a long time to come we need to really buckle down and figure out how we going to educate kids in her departure letter to the community gonzalez is also talked about the challenges of working with the teachers union. it's not the teachers who have a problem with but it's with the union one of the challenges that i see. is that our union has consistently resisted any efforts to incentivize or attract student teachers in hard to fill subjects, you know, chemistry physics math languages and particularly special education. why is that? they just don't believe in differentiating salaries. they believe that you know, everybody is a teacher. everybody should be paid the same. so we reached out to the oakland education association and here's what they told us.

director gonzalez will not be missed. we hope the next director will listen to and keep their commitments to district six students and families rather than closing their schools and what some school board members told me is that we've lost that ability to agree to disagree now they claim that if you disagree you are often told you are wrong end of discussion and/or labeled a racist. and gonzalez says it's hard to make any kind of progress for students dan under those conditions. yeah, it's just so emotionally charged in other issues leanne with gonzales gone who gets to decide who fills that school board position, right? so that's something that i didn't. myself until recently. so here's what i found out so people will be nominated for that position and then the school. it has 60 days to appoint someone now, let's say they don't disagree. they can't agree on someone then. it's up to the county superintendent of education to

call a special election. and by the way, dan, i was already told that the school board will begin those discussions on may 11th when they meet i see okay, leanne. thank you very much. keep us posted. new at 6 a new step in the oakland a's new ballpark the bay conservation and development commission now recommends that the plans to build the park at howard terminal be allowed to move forward. the commission is recommending removal of the port priority use nation from howard terminal that would allow the development of the port into a ballpark and housing to move forward now, this is only a recommendation nothing is final until the vote on june 30th. mayor libby schaaf responded cheerly quote today's report is great news oakland and our region. pandemic parklets, they helped restaurant. stay in business during some of our strictest covid restrictions now they're coming down. some by choice some not. i'm meteorologist sandy patel gusty and cooler start to the work week, but big changes are ahead. i'll tell you all about them coming up.
